Someone is going to have to educate me here I don’t claim to have all the knowledge of the rules are if there actually any. Anyway I thought I read somewhere that it was about speeding the game up (which we evidently rely on)
So my concern before the Catalan game I knew teams would have to slow us down. Catalan had mastered that in one of their previous games and then Wigan done it to us and from the get go Saints done it to us. Now fair play they got away with it some of the laying on last night was embarrassing at one point I thought LMS was having a love in with one of our players he held on to him that long, btw I didn’t notice our players fight so hard to get up. So is there a rule regarding ruck speed I even saw mentioned in Powells post match interview he spoke of the ruck being 8 seconds.
If you get dominated in the tackle then teams are allowed to hold you down longer. Been that way for years and happened to us on Good Friday as well. Our PTB was a snail's pace. Complaining about a slow ruck is usually a sign that you've lost the physical battle.
Of course, doesn't help that refs just randomly decide to ping a slow ruck out of nowhere from time to time and nobody has a clue what the actual line is
